The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the W side of the interior of Castlegowan cashel (SL005-015----). A low circular pile of limestone rubble (diam. 1.5m; H 0.1m) may be blocking the entrance to a souterrain as the ground beneath the rubble and the immediate area around feels hollow underfoot.
